1989 X 19 blue paint search

any idea where I can get my hands on Metallic Dark Blue (Mica Blue) 224.845-407B Blu Micalizzato paint? just touching up a few spots and can't find this anywhere...?

Try your local motor factors.Most of them can make up & colour match,touch up paint.It's not usually expensive either,you'll prolly struggle from Fiat.I know I did with my Azzure blue met X1/9.& That was ten years ago!

There are loads locally - will try there. Also, any idea where to get my hands on a new coil lead & HT leads? Mine have just packed up. Is this a common problem, or just age?

Again your motor factor should be able to sort you out with ht leads. OVer time they will deteriorate to the point where you dont get a strong enough spark, and yours could be potentially very old! Im assuming youve lost power on one or more cylinders, although if you're not getting a spark anywhere its worth checking you coil itself hasnt packed up, also your rotor arm and dissy cap.
